JUST IN: Anthropic has agreed to pay at least $1.5 billion to settle a lawsuit brought by a group of book authors alleging copyright infringement.
That’s at least $3,000 for each copyrighted work that it pirated—well below what Anthropic may have had to pay if it had lost the case at trial.

Unleash it, baby. Yassss.
As Rebecca completed the final incantation, the ground began to rumble. In an explosion of earth and grass, the giant form of a thing that both was and wasn’t Twilight Sparkle burst from the ground. Its eyes glowing crimson, its long teeth gleaming, it raised its head and roared.

Interesting collaboration between WotC and @chaosium.bsky.social. Things have come a long way since TSR withdrew the Cthulhu Mythos (and Melnibonéan pantheon) from DEITIES & DEMIGODS for the second edition in 1981.
